I got scammed and I managed to get some of my money back.

[Sunly]

I would like to share what happened to me so that hopefully no one will have to go through whatever I went through.

Its a long story, so I will have to break it into different parts.

This was my first attempt to buy a watch online and needless to say that I made every mistakes that I could.

It all begun by me posting on WTB last May, becoz of the watch I try to find was rare and I was looking for a better deal. To my surprise, a seller message me and ask for my email and he sent me some pictures of the watch and I was thrilled.
The pictures looks legit (of course becoz it was stolen from previous post from other seller and I only find out after when it was too late) He sent me some link of reference which I clicked on and again it's look legit (again the scammer was pretending to be another watch dealer with previous reference check on the forum)
The price he was asking was good but not great, it was like 10% below what other previous seller was asking and it was within my budget so I quickly agreed to buy the watch.

The seller claimed the watch himself are located in UK and at that time, I was going to visit London in 2 months time and I suggested to meet up and deal in person when I get to UK, but he insisted he need the fund to buy another watch for his up coming wedding (another red flag, how could I fall for that!)
